Seen Along The Roadside Ety J. M. Eleazer Notes on my first night flight that started from the V/est coast a while after sundown: O magic fairyland below! Stil a fading light lingers along the western * rim. Deep dark ness holds the east, save for a few stars that have ventured out and splotches and spangles of lights far below. Our dark ness is broken only by the snorting stream of fire that pours from our roaring motors. Sweet music that, with wild mountains and valleys a mile or so below. Soon it is all blackness—no stars above, no lights below, only the reassur ing fire from the motors casts a dull gleam outside. We roar on in the darkness, headed east, sailing as smoothly as if we were sitting on the ground. At length now we have emerged from the clouds. The stars sparkle in the black night. The fading light that lingered in the west is gone, and a slight lightness grows on the horizon in the east. I am to see a spectacle 1 have long ed for, the rising of a full moon from the air. I watch it grow. Light soon marks the earth’s rim, and it soon turns to fire at a spot. The moon is coming up. And how it now pushes the darkness back and bathes the western mountains with soft light! Into this realm of night we are boring our way, onward and onward. States and moun tain ranges slide below us, and we can begin to make out things on the ground again, for the air is clear. We are making over four miles a min ute, for there is a tail wind. Immediately after the cere mony the reception was given by th e bride’s parents at the Oregon Hotel. Mrs. J. Y. Mc- Fall of Greenville grandmother of the bridegroom. received with the wedding party and parents of the bride and bride groom. During the evening the bride changed to a blue tailored suit with fur coat and off-the-face fur hat. Mr. and Mrs. Toohey then left for a wedding trip to Sea Island Ga. and upon their return will live in Greenville. Mrs. Toohey graduated from Greenwood high school and will graduateat the end of this semester at Furman University, Greenville. She has been ma jorette for the Furman band and was business manager for The Bonhomie, Furman year book. Mr. Toohey is a veteran of navy service and attended Fur man University. He is now in business with his father in Greenville. Riding the wind and air, that’s us tonight! Witches of the night are we. As a kid I did this in fancy, as flights of im agination took me through the skies. ( Going towards that moon, it rises fast, a fourth faster at the speed we are going. Now it is above the slight mists of earth, and it’s getting up here where we are. It dims the stars. And the glow from our motors fades out, as mellow light fills the void of infinite space in which we fly up here between earth and eternity. This is a soothing place, away from the world. Would like to just hang up here and let the earth turn beneath us, and then come down in China to morrow. But we can’t do that. This thing weighs tons, and there are close to 50 of us on it. All the rest are asleep, and only I sit here and marvel. Those mighty motors out there can’t go on forever. But how sweetly they are purring now! Thev will descend after hours up Here in the outer spaces and renew their power for other so journs in the ether. Hold a minute. That’s enough lest I tire you. For the thing goes on and on. I must get to something else. I already feel like I’m back in the air, as I sit here and copy this from my air notes. The outlook for cotton is not good. A dangerous surplus is piling up. And synthetics grow by the hour. A half-dozen multi million dollar plants for mak ing fine and useful things out of synthetics have sprung up in this state alone in the last year or two. And more is coming. I am told that a new cotton mill hasn’t gone up in one of our largest textile counties in a quarter of a century. So we see that the two great staples of the past, cotton and wool, are losing some of their monopoly. Added millions are to be fed and clothed on this earth each year. Synthetics are helping with the latter of these. But on the first one, food, there is no satisfactory substitute for a beef steak, ham and eggs, or a loaf of bread. So here we have another reason for diversifying our farm so as to include livestock and foodstuffs. Humanity has never taken to synthetic foods, while synthetic fibers grow in volume and favor by the day. Grass, and cattle, and hogs, and poultry, and lespedeza, and grain sorghum, and grain, and winter cover, and soil saving, and soil building, and tree farming should be finding their way into the plans of every farm. At least some, if not all, of those signs of a new day in farming here should be seen cropping out on every farm. And when some of those things get intelligently entrenched.

C.; Phone No. 441-J-l ' tn Tenancy has been pronounced the curse of the land. It is heartening to see that this situation is improving in South Carolina. Dr. Rochester, our economist, tells me that since 1930 farm ownership has increased 23 per cent in- South Carolina. And, naturally, ten ancy has gone down a like am ount. Good times have helped a lot with this. So has the farm ownership policy of our gov ernment. Through the Farm ers Home Administration (for merly Farm Security) farms have been bought for 2,790 South Carolina tenants in re cent years. They were fin anced on a basis suited to farm needs, and these former tenants had 40 years to pay for their farms. Yet in these few years 722 have paid for their in full, and hundreds of others are far ahead on their payments. Almost half of the total pur chase money with interest has been paid in less than a fifth of the time that these loans were made for.
